The GO-A13-HA features a controllable speed of 100 to 1,400 RPM, and a no-torque reaction, self-regulating power output of 1,000 to 13,000 ft-lb. Will open any gate in < 8 seconds!

The WORKMASTER® GO-A13-HA is an air-powered Hopper Car Gate Opener on a wheeled-cart with pneumatic control of both its pivot wheels (to follow traveling gate or moving train), and height adjustment (to accommodate varied height capstans).

The GO-A13-HA Hopper Car Gate Opener is the wise choice for worksites which experience:

  • Railcars with gates that vary from easy-to-open to extremely-difficult found on cars not well maintained or regularly repaired;
  • Railcars with either fixed position or traveling gate mechanisms;
  • Rough or uneven trackside terrain making Opener maneuverability an issue;
  • Railcars with varied height capstan / gate mechanisms;
  • Railcars in long train units which require rapid opening / closing during continuous movement.
